The production process and production line design are crucial to ensure the quality and taste of the product. what are the processes involved in frozen french fries production line? From the selection of raw materials to the packaging and storage of the final product, every link needs to be strictly controlled. The following are the main processes of the frozen french fries production line:
 
1. Raw material selection and inspection
The main raw material of frozen french fries is potatoes. During the production process, potatoes must first be strictly screened to ensure that their quality meets the standards. High-quality potatoes should not be rotten, sprouted, damaged or diseased.
2. Potato cleaning and peeling
After the raw material inspection, the potatoes need to be cleaned. The purpose of cleaning is to remove the dirt, sand and other impurities on the surface of the potatoes. Next, the potatoes enter the peeling stage, and mechanical peeling equipment can be used to remove the outer skin to prepare for subsequent cutting.
3. Cutting and grading
After peeling, the potatoes are cut into uniform fries. The cutting equipment sets the cutting size according to production requirements. In order to ensure the uniform appearance of the french fries, the cut fries are also graded to separate the fries of different sizes and ensure uniform subsequent processing.
4. Rinse and remove starch
The cut french fries need to be rinsed before entering the next step. The purpose of rinsing is to remove the starch produced during the cutting process, which helps reduce the sticking of french fries during frying and improves the crispness of the french fries.
5. Blanching
After rinsing, the french fries enter the blanching stage. During this process, the fries are treated with hot water. The main purpose of this step is to partially cook the surface of the fries through high temperature treatment, reduce the amount of oil absorbed during frying, and ensure that the final texture of the fries is more crispy.
6. Deep frying
This process uses high-temperature frying to make the fries crispy on the outside while still soft on the inside. During the frying process, the temperature of the oil, the time, and the amount of fries put in need to be precisely controlled to ensure that the fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a golden color.
7. Degreasing
After frying, the french fries will enter the degreasing process to remove excess oil and further maintain their crispy taste.
8. Quick freezing
After de-oiling, the fries need to be cooled quickly. The cooled fries will be sent to the freezing equipment for freezing.
